Re: Concorde Flies Again... soon

Woke up a bit early this morning, so just got started. Will do the hard bits when I get back.

Time to head to the shed and finish off in the workstand.

I can confirm that setting up Delta brakes is a faff.

Taking a break to watch some football.

And we're done!

The 10 speed indexed shifting from the down tube levers works well and feels great on the stand. Might be a few days until it's gets a test drive.

Re:

Wow, that looks great.

Also, I like your choice of tyres, I have them on a lot of my bikes.

Cheers Neil.

Pro 4 's are great all round road tyres and because of the deals available on them they're also brilliant value for money.

Cracking Job Ken nice job on the polishing it's brought the paint out lovely

Cheers Clive.

There's still more polishing to do. Its nearly there though!

I also forgot about the seatstay decals and the Columbus SL sticker. The Go-faster stripes suggested by NeilM arrived in the post today, so I now have everything I need.

I'm thinking I'll ride this down on the April run as it looks like it should take a 25mm tyre and I can probably bung a triple on it with about 10 minutes work. I don't think my knees would be too happy riding loaded up Lake District climbs on a 42 chainring.

Theoretically, all it needs is a 1mm spacer under the drive side BB cup and assuming the front mech can cope capacity-wise, a quick tweak of the limit screws. I'll give it a full test ride with both setups at the weekend.

Congrats, it looks boss, jackosbournesnr.
Is the front shifting indexed or friction?
